In a continuing effort to keep the congregation informed on affordable housing issues, your Beacon Housing Committee would like to share an article about a gift from Peace Lutheran Church in Plymouth.
A congregation’s closure breathes new life into supportive housing.
When Peace Lutheran Church in Plymouth, Minnesota, came to the difficult conclusion of closing its doors, the congregation made a decision that ensured its legacy would live on in the community.
A $100,000 gift to Beacon from the sale of their church building was one of ten gifts distributed to mission-driven organizations.
This generous gift will help Beacon create and sustain supportive homes in Plymouth and across the Twin Cities metro. “While it was challenging to come to terms with closing our congregation, it has brought us so much joy to know that this conclusion will allow so many lives to be changed," said Valerie Sorenson, member of the Peace Lutheran discernment committee.
If you have a question about your congregation making a gift to Beacon, please contact Craig Freeman at cfreeman@beaconinterfaith.org.
